Person-centered care requires us to pause, reflect, and examine our own biases, habits, and assumptions.

When we choose to evolve as a clinician, this process never ends.

We show children we're interested in them by talking about the things they love talking about!

Creating a positive therapeutic alliance is essential in stuttering therapy.

In stuttering therapy, working on awareness and acceptance without any action equals nothing. (A + A - A = 0)

Actions are across psychological and behavioral components of therapy and include not only the child, but other relevant stakeholders such as parent(s), teachers, coaches, etc.

Examples of psychological components include building emotional literacy and strategies for negative thinking. 

Behavioral components might include planning and preparing for an oral presentation.

Acceptance is the byproduct of everything you're working on in therapy. Acceptance evolves over time.

🖍️ Put it on paper! ✨

Children in the concrete stage of development learn best when they can see, touch, and interact with ideas rather than just talk about them. When we draw what we're discussing in therapy - whether it's a communication challenge, a stuttering moment or a personal experience - we make abstract concepts more tangible and easier to understand.

An added bonus? Drawing often boosts engagement and participation! Children who may struggle to stay focused during conversation-based activities frequently become more invested when they can create alongside the discussion.

When you want your client to share information with you, try adding a marker and paper! You may be surprised how much deeper the conversation goes.

For SLPs, growth happens in the willingness to stay curious, listen deeply, and remain open to the diverse lived experiences of people who stutter.

Every conversation, perspective, and moment of reflection is an opportunity to evolve our practice with greater empathy, humility, and understanding.

Here’s to the clinicians committed to lifelong learning and honoring voices that deserve to be heard. 💙
